Share on TelegramShare on TwitterShare on FacebookShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

Top Takeaways

  1. P&G delivered 4% organic sales growth for fiscal year 2024, meeting or exceeding guidance ranges despite significant market headwinds.
  2. Core EPS grew 12% to $6.59, with core gross margin improving 360 basis points and core operating margin increasing 170 basis points.
  3. The company is focusing on irresistible superiority across five vectors: product, package, brand communication, retail execution, and value.
  4. P&G is investing heavily in marketing and innovation to drive market growth and share gains, particularly in North America and Europe.
  5. Despite ongoing challenges in China and the Middle East, the company expects fiscal year 2025 to see 3-5% organic sales growth and 5-7% core EPS growth.

Summary

Procter & Gamble delivered strong results for fiscal year 2024, with organic sales growth of 4% and core EPS growth of 12%. The company’s performance was broad-based across business units, with eight of ten product categories growing organic sales. P&G’s Chairman, President, and CEO Jon Moeller highlighted the company’s resilience:

“Our team continues to execute the strategy with excellence, enabling strong results over each of the past six years pre-COVID, during COVID, through a historic inflationary and a pricing cycle, and through geopolitical tensions.”

Main Themes

  • Guidance: P&G expects 3-5% organic sales growth and 5-7% core EPS growth for fiscal year 2025
  • Competition: The company is focusing on superiority across all product categories to drive market growth and share gains
  • Economy: Consumer demand remains stable in key markets, with private label shares in line with pre-COVID levels
  • New Product Announcements: Significant innovations in oral care, personal care, and fabric care categories
  • Market-moving information: Core gross margin at a 17-year high, with strong productivity improvements funding increased marketing investments

Insights

P&G’s strategy of focusing on daily use products in categories where performance drives brand choice is proving successful. The company has added $17 billion in sales over the past six years, placing it in the 88th percentile of the S&P 500. Additionally, P&G has built more than $200 billion in market cap during this period, outperforming most competitors over their entire history.

Market Opportunity

P&G is targeting growth in both developed and emerging markets. In North America, the company is seeing 4% organic sales growth with 4% volume growth. Europe focus markets are also showing strong performance, with 2% organic sales growth against a strong 12% comp in the base period. The company is addressing challenges in China and the Middle East through targeted innovations and portfolio adjustments.

Market Commentary

The global consumer goods market is experiencing a shift towards premiumization and sustainability. P&G is capitalizing on this trend through innovations like Oral B IO power toothbrushes and the Native personal care brand. These products are driving category growth and market share gains in their respective segments.

Customer Behaviors

Consumer behavior remains resilient in P&G’s key markets. Private label shares are in line with pre-COVID levels, indicating that consumers are not trading down significantly. The company is seeing strong consumer response to premium innovations, such as Oral B IO power toothbrushes, which are driving double-digit sales growth and market share gains.

Economy Insights

Despite concerns about economic pressures, P&G is not seeing significant changes in consumer behavior. CFO Andre Schulten noted:

“If you look at the U.S., I think the key point is over the past one, three, six, 12 months, the category volume growth in our categories is consistently 2%, so consumers are not decelerating consumption across our categories.”

Industry Insights

P&G’s performance and strategies provide insights for other consumer goods companies:

  1. Focusing on innovation and superiority can drive market growth and share gains even in challenging economic environments.
  2. Investing in marketing and brand building remains crucial for long-term success.
  3. Balancing premium and mid-tier offerings can help capture growth across different consumer segments.
  4. Adapting to channel shifts, particularly in e-commerce, is essential for maintaining competitiveness.

  • Organic sales growth: 4% for fiscal year 2024
  • Core EPS: $6.59, up 12% year-over-year
  • Core gross margin: Improved 360 basis points
  • Core operating margin: Increased 170 basis points
  • Adjusted free cash flow productivity: 105%

KPIs

  • E-commerce sales: Increased 9%, now representing 18% of total company sales
  • Market share: Grew global aggregate value share, with 30 of 50 category country combinations holding or growing share
  • Innovation: 11 out of 25 brands growing at high single digits or higher rates

Competitive Differentiators

  3. Robust productivity improvements enabling increased investments in marketing and innovation

  2. Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties in the Middle East and other enterprise markets
  3. Potential commodity cost headwinds and foreign exchange volatility
  4. Increasing competition and promotional activity in key categories
  5. Shifts in consumer preferences and shopping behaviors, particularly in e-commerce channels

Analyst Q&A Focus Areas

Analysts focused on several key areas during the Q&A session:

  1. China recovery and SK-II performance
  2. Consumer behavior and potential economic pressures
  3. Pricing and promotional strategies
  4. Innovation pipeline and superiority investments
  5. Margin expansion and productivity initiatives

Procter & Gamble Summary:

P&G’s strong performance in fiscal year 2024 demonstrates the effectiveness of its integrated growth strategy. The company’s focus on superiority, productivity, and innovation is driving market growth and share gains across key categories and geographies. While challenges remain in certain markets, P&G’s balanced approach to growth and value creation positions it well for continued success in fiscal year 2025 and beyond.
